3 Cups is my local, go-to coffee provider, whether it's espresso, cortado (they use a house blend roasted by Blue Copper Coffee), or their pastries, and even gelato (which is dangerous AND delicious). I like to sit in a booth and work for a couple of hours too, even leave the option to share my booth when it gets busy. I've also done wine tasting and whiskey tasting in the evenings here, and I highly recommend their events -- they kill it. The staff is awesome, and they care A LOT about your experience and even your individual cup of coffee. And yes, they're taking time to dial in the espresso shots. Favorite things on the menu: avo toast plus soft-boiled egg. Açaí bowl. House Granola with all the extras. Gluten free things (all the things). Ok, one more thing: during COVID19, 3 Cups has been the hallmark of how to adjust and handle business with all of the extra operational overhead and precautions. They've stayed steady and consistent and positive and serving every single cup of coffee with a smile and a safely distanced wave or hello. Bravo! read more

Always order the seasonal toast. One of my go-to weekend spots is 3 Cups. Service is always friendly. Space is clean. I can't wait for the pandemic to be over with so I can enjoy the cold mornings inside and the bistro tables outside in the sunshine. Great Americano. read more

I love this cute coffee shop. The baked items are yummy, and the service is friendly. The avocado toast is different than other places, but in a good way. The flavors are pleasantly unique. My daughter and I love to ask for their frozen lavender lemonade with a scoop of matcha during the summer, and it's by far my favorite frozen drink. The owners are good folks and I've enjoyed getting to know them a bit over the years that we have been their customers. read more

So when this shop first opened, I thought it was pretentious and up its own stuff. I thought it was one of those vsco girl coffee shops with açaí bowls and insta-worthy moments. Although they do have açaí bowls, I was very wrong about 3 cups. It doesn't take itself too seriously, the drinks are very good, the food is tasty (and typically healthy), and the atmosphere is laid back and unobtrusive. I really enjoy staying at 3 cups for long periods of time and reading, studying, or talking with a group of friends. I recommend their boulevard bowl and their honey badger latte. read more

3 Cups - Ordering area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Holladay, Utah

About a year ago, I attended Caputo's annual chocolate festival, and 3 cups was present, serving up this otherworldly amalgamation of sipping chocolate and tea. Everything I had that night was delicious, but this stuck out as one of my favorites (it was for my bestie, too!). Ever since, I have meant to visit the actual establishment, and though they are neighbor to Caputo's Holladay location that I often frequent, it never worked out until last weekend! I stopped by around lunchtime, and it was surprisingly busy, with a mix of friends chatting, individuals working or studying, and couples sharing small meals. Yes, it is much more than simple coffee shop! They have baked goods and pastries, gelato, a variety of toasts, oatmeal, yogurt parfaits, acai bowls, and some small bites. Beyond the expected coffee and tea (and there is A LOT, with seasonal specials, or you can even add CBD to your order!), they offer bottled beverages including local Mamachari and Han's kombucha plus beer and wine. Whew! I was going to get a sipping chocolate (make note, there is a red wine version...what?!!), but then my attention was grabbed by a special: Coconut Almond Lavender Latte. Yum! Based on the description, I assumed this was a tea-based latte, but after a 5 or so minute wait, it arrived, and I found it was coffee. Boo! I don't enjoy coffee, but this was totally my fault! I gave it to my husband, and, though he isn't a "fancy" drink fan, he thought it was great! They have ADORABLE branded travel mugs, coffee making supplies, and even merch like tees and hats. The young man who took my order was very friendly, it was so clean inside, and I adored the chill community vibe of the space. I will return to try more goodies, and I hope someday they have that dreamy chocolate tea on the menu! read more

Updated review. 3 Cups has definitely improved over the last several months. The staff currently working there is incredibly friendly. I wish I remembered the nice young woman who took my takeout order this morning. She made my morning with her friendly service and she even put smiley faces on my oatmeal and steamed milk. Good job, 3 Cups! And my oatmeal was delicious. Last visit's avocado toast was perfect too. read more

Went specifically to try 2 of their seasonal lattes and both were horrible! No flavor. And not worth the $14 I paid for the 2 12oz lattes. There are way better options for coffee in the area. Save your time and money. I would give no stars if that was an option. read more

I came in with the holla dollars I bought some oatmeal sesame cookie dough. It was fantastic... I burnt the first batch and wanted to cry. I'm happy to see the delicious desserts and cookies they have to offer that you can take home and serve right away. It's such a fun little spot, I'm excited to go in and enjoy it more read more

Great food, excellent coffee! The pastries are REALLY good, mouthwatering! The services is also fast and the staff very friendly.

Super cute spot in Holladay. There's been so much development in the area and it's nice to have a new coffee shop to go to. Probably a new hang out spot for me, for sure! Love the vibe and have ordered the Turmeric Latte drink a few times and like it. Will have to try some other items including their wine but in all, good experience. It gets pretty busy but they have tables in the back and front of the space. read more

My picture of the pear walnut crumb cake doesn't do any justice for how great it actually tastes! The drip coffee here is amazing. Everyone raves about how Publik is the best, but I personally think 3 Cups tastes better. (Shots fired if you're a Publik roasters fan). Overall, there's plenty of places to sit, drink your beverage and surf the net. Wifi is free! Parking can be difficult, but it's worth searching for one! I'm coming back again soon to try other pastries and dessert read more

I love 3 Cups Coffee! There is parking that is kind of hidden behind the building if you want to park closer. They have super tasty coffee and matcha! I always get their macarons - trying a different flavor every time, and all of them have been so tasty! I recently ordered their egg salad croissant and it was so delicious - I loved it so much that I ate every bit that fell onto my plate. It is also filling - so great for a full meal vs. just a snack. I didn't love the pickled side that came with it, however, I would definitely order this sandwich again! I also ordered their Lavender Matcha Latte which was so tasty. I was glad I ordered the largest size because it went quick! They also have great outdoor seating, so we were able to enjoy the nice weather. read more

Stopped by with some time to kill before a meeting and really enjoyed the space. Very bright and clean and, especially for a cafe, has a great selection of food and non-coffee beverages. I grabbed an americano and a muffin and enjoyed their large seating area while working through some emails. I will go back to this cafe in a heart-beat when I'm in the area. read more

Great coffee and treats. Friendly staff. I'm dying to get in and try their charcuterie boards!

I was running my errands and while out I am like the perfect time to stop in I finally did get a chance to catch them when they were open My experience overall As soon as you walk in you see the bar area which is a nice place to relax and enjoy the window views, looking at the mountains so that was very pleasant. The staff was friendly they answered the questions I had and made a recommendation which I decided to go with the ice Carmel coffee since they don't have blended coffees it would be nice in the future as a suggestion to offer blended coffees however the one I got was the tasty perfect amount of ice and just the right amount of Carmel. At the counter check-out process was easy they were able to do touch-less payments since the machine is right there, it was harder to hear the cashier host however I think it's because of the covid plastic sheets that are up. Speaking of covid very friendly masks required for customers and staff. They have these clear shields in front of the whole counter and also this nice little system. The bar spot is free for the first hour after that small fee, after leaving please bust your table and there is a place to put your dirty dishes on the way you walk out. They do offer other foods as well sandwiches and treats I didn't get it this time around maybe next but I am sure I'll stop in again. **** +++Not just a coffee shop ;) +++Dont stress about not finding a seat there are tons of options outside tables with propane heaters which I am sure is nice in the wintertime. In the bar area as mentioned in my above review, there are also multiple booths as well which seems to have a lot of room which is nice because some places don't offer that. +++ great views +++ they also have this cute little shop to purchase items if needed. +++ close to other shops in case you want to walk around to another place while enjoying your coffee. read more

Adorable!! Pros: - Clean, fresh decor - Delicious coffee - Soooo many food options - from gelato to avocado toast you will not be bored - Great atmosphere and staff Cons: - Can get super busy and loud It's worth driving out of the way for, highly recommend! read more

Good coffee, nice staff, BIGGEST PROBLEM is the seating here low key sucks and partly fat phobic haha. The single chairs and very un comfy and as well. Try and get a booth it's the best seating they have in the shop ( although it could use some padding. read more

Best coffee in Salt Lake. Great vibe. Pastries to die for. Lovely funk of a little shop!

TLDR: The food is truly awful. But the ambiance and the service is amazing. We had the chocolate chip cookie. Amazing. Perfection. Best thing there was! I had the spicy mocha and it was soooo spicy I couldn't drink it. We split the ham and gruyere baguette which was cold and terrible. The bread was unremarkable and dry. Also split the special toast which was ricotta and fig jam with walnuts and honey. This was TEN DOLLARS. And we both literally spit it out. And threw the whole thing away. The "toast" was warmish whole wheat? But not toasted. The fig jam was awful and tasted nothing like fig jam. The ricotta was store bought and barely existent. I would normally give this place a 1 star but it's so cute and inviting and the employees were so nice that they made up for us spending $30 on what amounted to one cookie that we liked actually ate. I'd actually go back and give the coffee another try. read more

Need a wifi-place to study with spacious seating? Need a kid-friendly place with a variety of treats? Need a pick-me-upper drank? Need a place to go to when you really should be at home because of a snow storm? If you need any of these listed above, 3 Cups is for you. If you do not need any of these listed above, 3 cups is still for you. While it was hailing snow dangerously outside, my friend and I decided it was a good idea to go study at a coffee shop. Almost nearly dying and getting stuck on the ramp up to the parking lot, we made it to 3 Cups. We ordered a vanilla soy latte, smoked salmon, and an acai bowl. Please do not judge me, fellow healthy-acai-fruit-blend-bowls-withatypeofnutorgranolatopping yelpers, but this was my first time having one and it was sure yummy! The latte and smoked salmon was delicious as well. The only down side was the house pickled veggies (way way too acidic) and location. I wish this place was closer to my house so that I could frequent more. -Sailor out read more

So glad I found this on yelp. Couldn't have been a better local run coffee house. Nice staff and great food choices - I liked the avocado toast and the apple tart. They also had great quiche choices. Definitely stop In but go early and avoid the lines read more

You were just saying that this was another coffee shop. However you're in for a real surprise! I tried therapy latte and it was so delicious also they have bowls are to die for! Also avocado toast is super good. read more

Amazing toasts - got the cucumber and the avo and both were absolutely delicious. Very crowded even though it's a big place.

The hype is overrated. The place is cute, but their coffee could be better. One of our coffee orders was way too watery; so awful. They didn't have matcha on hand, only the blended one (Is this cold?). Also, the server who took our order kept "calling out" (but not shouting) orders so you didn't know who they were talking to. Overall, it wasn't a great experience. Will not be back. read more

Always have a great time here. When it gets warmer it can get a little crowded with remote workers, so get your spot early if you're staying! Lattes are wonderful (Rose Cardamom is a must try), and they even serve wine and cheese at certain times/days. Lovely spot. read more

I think this place is awesome. They have a few gluten free options and I am happy to report that they are actually gluten free. Free WiFi and great environment read more

This has quickly become my favorite coffee shop, which is no small feat. This is why: 1. Quality coffee and a simple menu. All coffees in mugs come with a tiny coin-sized, house-made, buttery shortbread cookie - I've had a spiced one and one with little chopped apricots. Such a sweet touch. A little pricey - $2.25 for a small drip - but this place has such ambiance and quality service that I don't even hesitate. 2. House-made baked goods - I pretty much come just for these and I don't even really like sweets very much. They are the best baked goods around, always with new options, and I've never been disappointed. The oatmeal cookie with sesame seeds was buttery and a perfect mix of crispy/chewy. The fluffy brioche has the perfect amount of dark chocolate inside. And there are always options that aren't too sweet, which is nice for me. They also have gelato, oatmeal with toppings like granola and berries, acai bowls with granola and fresh fruit, and smørrebrød (crisp bread with smoked trout, green olive, caper spread and house pickles) which all sound amazing and I must try sometime. 3. Excellent service with friendly and helpful staff. They always have a recommendation about the baked goods (so helpful that they know their products!) and most of them are super friendly. Low snootiness in a nice coffee shop, which is hard to find these days. 4. Comfortable, classy, airy cafe with tons of seating and outlets. It feels restful, not stressful, to spend time here alone or meet friends. Lots of space so you don't feel too close to other patrons and I've never had to search for seats (in nice weather there is patio seating in front and in back). Clean restrooms. Downtown Holladay is fast becoming a destination I prefer away from busy downtown - there is plenty of parking and it feels like a small town main street. So cute. I get little bubbles of joy when I get an afternoon to relax in their lovely shop and see what amazing new baked goods are on display, and I always suggest to my friends that we meet here. Love it! read more

I've spent so many hours working/ studying here. It's one of the few places that I've been where you can work/ study for a few hours and not feel like a burden if you periodically get a coffee refill, snack, etc. Their nitro cold brew is excellent. One of the few places around here that doesn't taste brunt. The cinnamon rolls are too good. I don't want to know how many of them I've ate over the years. read more

Such a cute little spot for a quick breakfast! They have all sorts of coffee, toasts, pastries and sell beautiful flower bouquets inside! (We came on Mother's Day and it was a nice surprise to grab and take home to Mom.) There is seating in and outside and the food comes out in a timely manner. They have plenty of vegan options and pasteries on the menu! I ordered the avocado toast that comes on a thick slice of toast and has a delicious nut and oil mixture spread on top, I loved the texture and flavor the nuts added. I also tried a soy vanilla latte and it was equally as good. This is a nice spot to stop by and grab some coffee and toast while reading the morning paper. I will definitely be a returning customer! read more

Got an iced latte with an extra shot for a lovely $9 lol. I can't believe these guys actually get away with overcharging this much. It would be one thing if it was exceptionally good coffee, but it wasn't. Very watered down and sour espresso. To top it off you can't even get a straw. And the barista will act disappointed if you ask for a one. read more

Stopped in for a little dessert and we were duly impressed. The gelato was excellent! In fact my husband said the pistachio was the best he has had anywhere in the world. We finished it off (see photo). My chocolate was rich and delicious. Others tried the Nutella and honey-lavender and loved them as well. We also split a piece of the chocolate cake and it was quite unique in that it wasn't too sweet and the whipped cream frosting was super. We will be back to try more of their delectable read more

This was my third trip to this shop and with out a doubt my last. The service is severely lacking... almost like chaos. We ordered a Latte (largest size), cortado, PB and Banana Toast, brownie, and a cookie. We finished our coffee before we could even get our food. Got the PB and Banana toast? But no brownie or cookie. Tables are ALWAYS DIRTY.... Each visit I go, the tables are never clean. Stuck in food, coffee stains, it's gross. The management of the staff is clearly evident as chaos as it always looks like the baristas have no idea what is going on. I can get a few minutes between food and drinks, but enough to finish a whole latte before you get your food. Ehh. Over all, the coffee is good. However, not good enough for the lack of continual service and even more cleaning your table to eat and bussing it when you are done. read more

This is a great coffee shop. Their beans are from Blue Bottle (LA), Blue Copper, and La Barba beans (local). They have incredible house made pastries, and gelato too! My caramel latte was so smooth and creamy. They use actual caramel sauce, not artificial caramel syrup. Most of the high end coffee shops around Salt Lake won't even serve caramel (which is my favorite latte flavor). So I always have to get vanilla, honey, or simple syrup. Salt Lake is blessed with a great coffee scene. My six favorite shops (in alphabetical order) are: 3 Cups Bardo's Blue Copper People's Publik Roasters Rose Establishment You can't go wrong with ANY of them. Now get out there. Make your day with some good coffee. read more

The coffee shop itself is spacious with a lot of seating and interesting decor. One wall is basically just a window, which leads to very nice, natural lighting (with an unfortunate few of construction across the street, but whatever.) All about what you expect from a hipster coffee bar. Unfortunately, the nitro cold brew I ordered was just... an iced coffee. I asked where the nitro was in the coffee. Where is the delicious, creamy, and foamy head typical of any nitro drink?! The barista replied, "The nitro is just running low, I promise it's in there." Confused, I sit down and take a sip. Yep, just an iced coffee. Also, who puts ice in a nitro brew? The appeal of a nitro brew is mainly to enjoy the consistency while you're sipping, and ice, straws, etcetera kind of go against that. I've never seen ice in a nitro drink! To be fair to the establishment, Girlfriend's soy latte was yummy. Disappointed in the level of coffee knowledge the baristas have here... but at least the place looks cool. read more

3 Cups - Nitro cold brew? Wrong, just iced coffee. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Holladay, Utah

I've stopped by here a few times. The service is good. Their matcha is my favorite, the espresso drinks are good, however I usually come in when they are very busy so on occasion they have been sour. The nitro cold brew is not great- it is rather flat and rather disappointing the times I have gotten it. I love sitting on the window seats and working here. Parking is hard to find if you come after noon. read more

Location is cool. Definitely visit if you want a coffee after lunch, this would be a place to come get a coffee fix. My super awesome girl friend ordered gelato and it wasn't the best. It was rubbery and some of the selection had a rubbery skin across the top. The kids ordered coffee and they liked it but it wasn't anything to write home about. I liked my latte and the honey crumbly pastry I got. read more

Both times I came here, the staff was super friendly and helpful. The drinks are delicious! I'd highly recommend trying their fall special, Maple Spice Latte with almond milk. The price was a bit steep for a Large latte, around $7.50, but definitely worth the price in my opinion. We also got a crumb cake for $3.50, and I thought it was alright, pretty light and not too sweet, it was kind of dry; for those who don't have a sweet tooth it might be perfect. It's always very busy here, but the service has been quick, but I've also only ever ordered pastries and coffee. read more

Honestly, one of my favorite haunts for many years. Recently, and acknowledging the challenges of recruitment, service has gone way down hill. Expect lengthy waits pretty much any time of day just to order. Much more often recently than before, the order is consistently wrong when rung up. Perhaps worst, though, is the insane price hikes on even just a basic cup of coffee. Inflation is a viscous cycle, but with service and quality having gone down hill and prices exploding, I won't be back any time soon. read more
